'Easy Living Weakens Morals'

The Coventry Regional Farmers’ Market (CRFM) opens in June. The CRFM Business Partnership Program may be a good fit for your venture.

Vendors and visitors enjoy the setting at the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry, a sprawling farm with fields, a historic house, tours, and a barn in addition to the fair-like market.

Welcome To Vermont, Oh Yes

The Vermont Welcome Center is located in Guilford, off Interstate 91 north, just over the state border from Massachusetts. The area is a welcome respite for travelers in New England.

Architects Jeff Goldstone and Tim Smith of Tim Smith & Associates, Dufresne-Henry Engineers, Neagley & Chase Construction and Munson Earthmoving worked with Vermont Timber Works to create the 48' x 96' post-and-beam timber frame barn-like structure. Vermont Structural Slate Company did the beautiful roof that covers it all.

Inside, among the displays of arts, crafts, an incredible artisan-quality canoe and porch rocking chairs (truly functional works of art), there is wi-fi zone, along with a wealth of information about the Green Mountain State. Yes, there are clean rest rooms, but visitors can also tap into the computer stations linked to chambers of commerce.

Vermont stands apart for the hospitality the state offers - there are no rest areas in Connecticut or Massachusetts when a driver heads north, only pull-off places where vehicles rock and sway to the blast of passing traffic.
